Abstract
The nova outburst phenomenon is presently studied in light of the results of numerical calculations for the accretion of H-rich material onto 1-solar mass C/O white dwarfs, with arrival angular momentums of the order of 10-100 percent of the Keplerian values. The range of models investigated lies between the two limiting cases of radial accretion and accretion with Keplerian angular momentum. It is judged in view of the results obtained that certain important physical effects are being excluded; one of these may be the loss of angular momentum from the white dwarf's surface layers, either inwardly to the core or outwardly through the disk. 25 references.
